I've been meaning to come and post about this a while. I pointed out the change to my wife a month or two ago. She did some research. Seems like Nguyen was removed from the firm (potentially some financial shenanigans were going on?). Because the "We Push. You Win." phrase was trademarked or copyrighted or whatever, he went with someone else who's name was a homonym for "win" and now the billboards all read "We push. To Win" so Ngyuen can't sue, I guess. I know we have some lawyers on this BBS (@MadMax?). I'd be curious if anyone knows the full story behind it. I find it hilarious how all these lawyers have to have a schtick now. Maybe that started with the Texas Hammer, or maybe it was going on long before him. That's the first I remember anything like that.
Feels like it's isolated to ambulance lawyers. There are no shortage of billboards in this city if accident lawyers. I know I have seen some about trying Dick lol.
It actually used to be against state bar rules to advertise. That changed before I went to law school. I practice corporate and M&A law, so me advertising like this would kill my business lol. I don’t know these guys and this is the first I’m hearing of it…but I have seen their signs.
I can honestly say I had no clue what this thread was about (which is getting more common on this forum because I'm convinced some of y'all do drugs ... heavily), so I had to google. And... https://www.chron.com/culture/article/houston-pusch-nguyen-lawsuit-update-21101842.php
Breh drive down 45, I don’t even live I Houston. I was visiting and this was huge news to me. friendship ended with Nguyen..Wyn is my new friend
Houston infrastructure is some of the best for the size city it is. I didn’t realize this until I left
I live in the DFW area, but have another house I built in the Houston area I'll eventually move into. I'm down in Houston weekly, but thankfully I get to Madisonville and hang a right at Buc-ee's, and that's the last I see of 45 on my way to the Houston area. lol.
Personal injury attorneys that use billboards usually make good money but are almost never great lawyers. The really good ones don’t need billboards.
this guy is (was?) a real attorney in austin. he had a few totally bonkers commercials on tv over a decade ago. he might have been disbarred or moved. total maniac, but apparently was really smart and knew the law.
The only reason it's so noticeable (for those of us that live in Houston), is because when you drive down any highway in Houston (but especially 45), it seems like these dudes are on every other billboard. And many of them are pretty funny. Usually referencing some movie of some kind. I was curious, when the split happened, if that would continue or if Nguyen was the brains behind the marketing. But they still have some pretty ridiculous billboards with the new dude so I guess he wasn't. They're also pretty brazen about it. There's some other lawyer's office on 45 (Stee Lee? His billboards always suggest if you need help, you should find a LEEder), and Pusch/Wynne/Nguyen bought the billboard that's right in front of their office. That's gotta piss him off.
If there’s any liability dispute or if the damages are high enough, cases usually get referred out from billboard lawyers to real litigators who file and actually invest money and time into working the case up. These billboard lawyers just find plaintiffs, send plaintiffs to LOP chiros, and spam demand letters to easy sources of recovery (geico / progressive) asking for policy limits settling for what they can before referring out headaches or time suckers. Small dollar high volume plaintiffs PI (billboard lawyers) is a racket.
